The NBA Draft lottery has come and gone, bringing us one step closer to the big night. As the league gears up for the next wave of talent, all eyes are on the draft combine events where prospects are being measured, tested, and evaluated. Among them, Purdue's Braden Smith is drawing attention—so, just how tall is he? Meanwhile, Trey Kaufman-Renn is making waves at the G-League Combine, impressing enough to potentially climb the draft hierarchy. And don't sleep on Fletcher Loyer, who showcased his skills at the same event. What does all this mean for the three Purdue seniors? We break it all down on the latest Boiler Alert podcast.

We also turn our focus to Daniel Jacobsen, a player whose impact next season is a hot topic. I ask Ryan whether Jacobsen is the biggest question mark among the returning players. DJ had his moments this season, but many of us walked away feeling a bit underwhelmed. Was it a case of sky-high expectations, or did his play simply fall short? We dive into that debate on this episode—tune in to hear our take.
